A Good Way to Wind Up Dead

A contract killer, a true crime podcaster, and a coal country town with dark secrets.

Born into a family of hillbilly hitmen in Walker County, Alabama, Samantha Ray is minutes removed from killing her father and is prepared to take over the family business. Her only obstacles are her no-account brothers and whoever is ultimately behind ordering her father killed.

Chase is a true-crime podcaster who has made his way to Walker County in search of the story behind a missing woman. He gets stonewalled by everyone from local law enforcement to the townsfolk who have made no bones about their lack of interest in answering questions from an outsider.

After Samantha Ray's and Chase's lives intersect, he quickly discovers there's a lot more going on in this rural county in coal country than he could ever have imagined. When Chase asks one question too many, he finds himself at risk of becoming another in a long line unanswered questions and missing persons.
